I noticed previously that stuff I read in the browser does not show up as read in the mobile app. I also just tested it with different browsers and as far as I can see, read posts are marked as unread when I use another browser.
So are you actually sure about your claim? This is very easily testable, so I hope you have actually confirmed this before you accuse lemmy of participating in a “terrible invasion” of privacy…
I have said several times that I am not completely sure. I will see if I can do some better tests. It is something that I noticed when I installed Jerboa, so I asked about it, and people seemed to confirm that there was server side tracking.
Anyway, even if it’s confirmed, unless there is deception involved (which I have no reason to suspect), there’s not much of an “accusation” to be made. I would say, in the event that individual post views really are saved on the server, that Lemmy’s designers made a policy choice that I don’t agree with. I’d call that a description rather than an accusation. I’d try to open a discussion about getting the decision changed. If that didn’t succeed, I’d look for technical workarounds and/or limit my reading on the site.

Thanks for your clarification.
